Roye Zanliang was an aggrieved and mistreated little maid in the Li Family Courtyard. Li Qinzai glanced at her and fell into silence.
But in the eyes of the people of the Japanese country, she was the eldest daughter of the emperor, a serious eldest princess. Except for her father, any subject of the Japanese country must kneel down and worship her when they see her.
This is what the salesman in front of me is like.
The salesman was a retainer of a man named "Nakatomi Kamatatsu" of the Japanese country. Nakatomi Kamatsu was a close confidant of the eldest brother of the future ruler of the Japanese country.
As a confidant of the leader of the Japanese country, the shopkeeper saw the maid dress of Kono Sanliang and her pitiful appearance with low eyebrows. The shopkeeper suddenly felt sad and couldn't help but burst into tears. He knelt down in front of her with a plop, then beat the ground and cried loudly.
.
The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his subjects, and the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his subjects.
The eldest princess of a country became a slave of an enemy of an enemy country. The salesman felt distressed and resentful, and his hatred for Li Qinzai became deeper and deeper.
"With the hatred of destroying the country and the hatred of humiliating the Lord, I will kill Li Qinzai to avenge this deep hatred!" The salesman cried bitterly.
He took out a short knife from his arms, and while crying, he made gestures on his stomach, as if he wanted to commit suicide to show his loyalty. However, after making gestures with the short knife for a long time, it still failed to cut.
Kono Sanliang was startled by his appearance and said hurriedly: "It doesn't have to be like this. If I can keep my father and the people of Yamato safe, I will be a slave even if I am willing to do so."
The salesman wiped his tears, stood up suddenly, and choked with sobs: "Your Highness, the eldest daughter of the Emperor, please rest assured. Please bear with me for a few more days. After we calmly plan the arrangements, we will definitely find a perfect opportunity to kill Li Qinzai with one blow."
"
Kono Sanliang's face suddenly became calm, and there was a sense of majesty in his calmness.
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Sanliang Tono's tone gradually became colder.
The salesman looked at her in astonishment.
Kouno Zanliang emphasized his tone and said: "I say, it doesn't have to be like this. I'm happy to be a slave even if I commit myself to it!"
The salesman was surprised: "Why is your Highness like this?"
Kono Sanliang said coldly: "If you kill Li Qinzai, what will happen to your father and countless subjects who are far away in Yamato?"
"The imperial guards of the palace and the defense of Feiniao City, the capital of the country, are both under the control of the Tang army. If Li Qinzai is assassinated and killed, do you know how heavy the price my father and his subjects will have to pay?"
The salesman said solemnly: "The fault lies with me, what does it have to do with innocent people? If the assassination is successful, I am willing to kill myself on the spot to put an end to this grudge!"
Zangye Zanliang sneered: "Do you think the Tang Dynasty will be reasonable with you? When the Tang army landed in our country, they massacred every city they conquered. Tens of thousands of innocent people died under the swords of the Tang army. If Li Qinzai was assassinated in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would release
To my father and my subjects?"
"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty valued Li Qinzai very much. The emperor's most important minister was assassinated. How could we, the subjects of the Yamato Kingdom, stay out of it? The emperor of the Tang Kingdom will definitely retaliate and bury Li Qinzai with the lives of hundreds of thousands of our Yamato Kingdom's subjects. If you assassinate him,
, is to trap our country, Yamato, in a place where it will never be restored."
The salesman said sadly and angrily: "Can't we avenge the destruction of the country?"
Kono praised Liang and sighed: "The situation is like this, what can we do... After all, it is our country, Yamato, that made the mistake first. If we had not taken the initiative to attack the Tang army at Baijiangkou, we would not have suffered the disaster of destroying the country..."
Staring at the shopkeeper's face, Kono Sanliang said slowly: "Recently, Zhuangzi has been filled with troops from the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty and the Duke's Mansion. Obviously, the Tang Dynasty already knows that you intend to assassinate Li Qinzai..."
"Give up. You have no hope. Regardless of success or failure, we, the subjects of Yamato, will pay a heavy price."
A gloom flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he could tell that the eldest daughter of the emperor had no thoughts of revenge. Such a deep hatred of destroying the country was replaced in her heart by a deep fear and awe of her enemies.
Forget it, the royal family whose destiny is controlled by their enemies cannot count on their integrity.
Prostrating himself on the ground, the salesman whispered: "Yes, Your Highness, the eldest daughter of the Emperor, I have given up."
Kono Sanliang stared at him and said suspiciously: "Have you really given up?"
"My lord has really given up."
Kono Sanliang nodded: "You should leave quickly. There are informants everywhere here. You are extremely lucky to be able to get here in disguise."
The salesman looked at her and said deeply: "Take care, the eldest daughter of the emperor, I resign."
Watching the salesman walking away with his load, Konozan still felt uneasy in his heart.
Kouno Zanliang is not stupid, she will not believe other people's words so easily.
Judging from the salesman's tone and demeanor just now, I'm afraid he won't give up on the assassination so easily.
So, will Fifth Young Master be in danger?
He was clearly the enemy of the country, but after getting along with him for a long time, the hatred towards him in Konozan's conscience seemed not to be so pure. At that moment, there was even a thought of worrying about him flashing through her mind.
Although it was only for a short moment, she still hated the thought she had just now that she shouldn't have. To her, it was unfaithful and unfilial.
There was no one around, and Kono Sanliang suddenly knelt down on his knees facing the east, and said with great regret: "Father, I'm sorry! I will continue to hate you!"
…………
The salesman carried the load and walked around another mountain path, carefully dodging several patrols of the Forbidden Army. He put down the load after leaving Ganjingzhuang for more than ten miles, and stared at the village with smoke rising in the distance with his bloodshot eyes.
The salesman's name was Fujiwara Ishiri, a native of Asuka Castle in Kyoto, Japan. His grandfather and father were both retainers of Nakatomi Kamazu, and even the surname "Fujiwara" was given by Nakatomi Kamazu.
In March of the second year of Longshuo, Li Qinzai led the Tang army to capture Asuka City in the Japanese capital of Kyoto. On the day the city was breached, Lieutenant Commander Kazuzu led the remaining troops in the city to resist, but in the end they were unable to withstand a single blow.
Fujiwara Ishiri's father died in the battle to defend the city. After the city was defeated, the Tang army massacred the city for three days. His mother, sisters, and clan members were all massacred by the Tang army.
Later, Brother Zhongda had to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, signed an armistice treaty, and handed over the defense rights of Asuka Castle and Gongjin. After the war stopped, Fujiwara Ishitoshi, the envoy to the Tang Dynasty who was studying in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, received a funeral letter from the Japanese country.
The entire family died, leaving him alone.
At the moment of despair, Fujiwara Ishiri decided to take revenge.
He vowed to kill Li Qinzai himself.
For him, destroying the country and destroying the family is a blood feud, and no one can persuade him to give up.
The eldest brother can't do it, the eldest brother can't do it, the eldest daughter can't do it, and the eldest daughter of the emperor can't do it even more.
The sworn blood feud cannot be resolved by anyone, except the enemy's head.
Kneeling on the ground and weeping silently, after a long time, Fujiwara Ishiri wiped away his tears, straightened his expression, and instantly became a simple and honest salesman, picked up the load and walked towards the distance.
